This is a first for me.. and I have a very special friend to thank for re-introducing me to passion.. i didn't realize how much I had missed this part of my life..


As evening shadows bless the sky
It’s fingers pushing down
The charring daystar of my soul
A quenching, needing found.
Silently, your face appears
Amidst the falling night
Flames ablaze inside your eyes
As fireflies dance in pale moonlight.
So long, my sun dried hands have sought
Your gentle hydrate skin
Desire aches, the coming mist
To cool me from within.
Longing met in outstretched arms
Eternal limbs entwine
Dew drops chill the burning flesh
As hearts and sighs collide.
Passion spent, the hours fly
I hide in your embrace
For, soon the sunlit embers stretch
To take you from this place.
But, though, the dawn is sure to come
Enveloping night’s mist
I close my eyes towards sun parched skies
Awaiting moon tide’s bliss.
